Rangers Transfer News: Rangers show interest in Millwall defender Mahlon Romeo

Rangers News: According to the reports from The Daily Record UK, Rangers are interested in bringing the Millwall right back Mahlon Romeo this summer.

The defender’s contract is set to expire at the end of this season.

Player stats

The Antiguan came through the youth ranks of Arsenal in the Premier League.

Romeo, son of the singer Jazzie B, commenced his senior career with Gillingham.

He then joined Millwall in 2015 and was regular a starter for the side in League One. In fact, he has made 115 appearances till now.

The 23-year-old played a key part in getting his side promoted to the Championship in 2017.

Romeo has impressed highly in the Championship this season where he has made 30 appearances thus far.

The fullback made his international debut for Antigua and Barbuda back in 2015 and has earned 12 caps till now.

Why Rangers should pursue?

The only right back option left for the Gers is Tavernier and Romeo would be a smart addition to strengthen the full back position.

Moreover, the youngster is set to become a free agent this summer.

Difficulties

 West Ham United is reportedly keeping tabs on the Millwall defender. And the Gers would possibly find it hard to lure Romeo competing with the Premier League side.

Steven Gerrard was productive in the January transfer window with the additions of star players like Jermain Defoe and Glen Kamara.
